    Bathroom addition on slab design

    I am designing a bathroom to add to a workshop. I'm wondering if I have any mistakes in the design? I did a bathroom addition in the house a few years ago (learned a lot), but still a DIYer. The addition will extend the slab and the sewer lines will be under the slab. The 1" water line and 4"...

    I couldn't get an auger into the hole at the bottom, making me question if it's a drain at all. We have the AC condensate draining into it, and the new softener (which hit the waste cycle and flooded the room) Do I need a plumber (2 have already said they can't do it) or a contractor? How to...

    Replacing Multi-Family Sewer Line Under Slab

    I own a 7 apartment multi-family building built in 1974. Sewer line is cast iron. We have clogs frequently and it appears cast is corroding. I know it's only a matter of time before I will need to replace it. Problem is, the building sits on a slab. It's also fully leased. Line runs left to...

    DWV in home on slab

    I recently bought a house built with all of the plumbing in the slab and did a whole remodel. It was a bank owned property built in the 50s, and needless to say I ran into quite a few head scratchers. As far as plumbing, I replaced all fixtures and traps. In doing so, I noticed that the only...
